My name is Paul Frankcom and I am a Driving Instructor in Nanaimo. I moved to Nanaimo over 10 years ago from the UK. I have helped young and old to learn to drive working with other driving schools before starting my own school in 2016.
I have parented 3 children myself through the learning to drive process so understand the parent teen relationship and how it can make the learning process challenging for both parent and child.
My philosophy on learning to drive is that it should firstly be safe but it should also be FUN! If you are having fun you will learn and be receptive to new ideas and ways of doing things.
My car driving experience in the many different countries that I have been very fortunate to visit over the years has given me a good education on what to expect on the road. I have also ridden motorcycles for many years and raced cars competitively in Europe for several years giving me a depth of experience that I am able to offer to all of my students to help them learn and grow into safe drivers.

Learning to drive for the very first time is exciting, stressful, challenging and sometimes overwhelming and that is just how the parents can be feeling! Holding a valid driving license is one of those key moments in life that as a parent we want to share with our kids but can easily turn into a negative experience because of our own anxieties.
Allowing a patient trained professional driving instructor help a new driver take those important first steps to getting their license will help to alleviate the worst of those negative feelings and just leave the sheer joy of being in full control of a vehicle on the roads.
Everyone learns in a different manner whether it is visually, audibly or by hands on learning and learning to drive is no different and your trained instructor will know how to get the best from YOU. They will identify your traits and tailor the lessons accordingly to enable you to learn at the best rate possible. Always bear in mind when booking driving lessons or learning to do anything that not everyone learns at the same rate so that is why we offer flexible lesson packages that can be mixed and matched to provide the best solution for you.
What you will get from a driving instructor is someone who will be honest about the ability and level that a student has attained. They will provide consistent constructive critique about how to make a person’s driving skills better and encouragement when things sometimes things don’t go as planned.
